ON iT - Thomas Jardine and Co

Unlock What’s Next for Your Business

A 6-month programme for micro and small business owner operators and founders ready to take the next step.

Are you working in the business but not on it?

ON iT is for ambitious micro and small business leaders who know they want more but aren’t sure what “more” looks like or how to get there. Whether you’re overwhelmed, stuck in the day-to-day, or ready to grow in a new direction, ON iT helps you unlock your next step with clarity, structure, and support.

Using the Business Model Canvas as our guiding tool, we help you break through the blockers, sharpen your strategy, and get ON iT.

Investment: £1500 + VAT (6 month programme £250 + VAT per month and thanks to Cumberland Council and Cumbria Growth Hub one cohort will be fully funded for businesses based in Cumberland!)

New cohorts of ON iT are starting soon. We are recruiting our next cohort of like minded founders and family businesses to create something really special.

Outcomes and Recommendations from previous ON iTs

✅ A refreshed and relevant business model
✅ A practical, flexible action plan
✅ A trusted peer network
✅ Greater confidence in your leadership decisions

Here’s some recommendations from previous ON iT cohorts:

Amanda Wilson (Pie Mill): I found that as a group you really helped us to trust and feel like we were in a safe space to talk about our business, the bit that surprised me the most was how much I actually got from working with the lego! I feel like I left the course with the tools to move forward with my ideas.

Gill Hutton (Nacho Nacho): Before the course I hadn’t spent time with other business owners, and it was a great source of comfort and inspiration to see that we all face similar challenges and obstacles. Jacqui, Keith and Luke are so friendly and extremely knowledgeable in the field of business. I’ve learned lots of new strategies and the course has motivated me to accomplish goals faster and more efficiently. The one to one’s were very useful in discussing areas I needed advice on. I look forward to keeping in touch with everyone I’ve met and am very grateful to Jacqui and Keith for the opportunity. It’s been a valuable experience for me and my business.

Kathryn Graves (The Toffee Shop): Being part of a peer group has been invaluable and has enabled me to grow through discussion and active problem solving. Our group was diverse, but everyone was keen to learn so we could all prosper. Jacqui and Keith were always supportive and have amazing connections in industry which they generously shared.
